Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Open at 100% against iCupid's 27%. Open also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). iCupid's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (576 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
